Firestar looked over a building in New York. "Funny, he thought, just a week ago I was a school studying for a test he really knew he would pass. Apparently I'm "special" not in a bad way of course. My IQ. is just four times higher than everyone else in my grade. And believe me, that is uncommon for a street rat.

Of course you guys are wondering who I am and why I can break the fourth wall. Well I'll answer the first question, and leave you wondering the second. First my name is Luke Jackson, my parents got in trouble with the local gangs while I was at "home". So yeah since then I've been living on the streets, it would be pretty bad if my best friend wasn't the mayor's son.

His name is Cole Yā. Fifty-something years ago his great grandfather moved here from Japan, he said that they used to live in a mountain. While in America Cole's father, the mayor, was born his name is Lán Sōng Yā (or in English Bluejay, although he is called Jay). Yeah so after awhile Cole and Jay offered me to stay with them, kinda like a foster kid. I would be pretty crazy to refuse. So after all this here is my tippy-top uber duber secrete origin.

One day in November just a normal school day. We had taken a test that I aced and just going to lunch, when Richard Lanthon, the school bully decided that he didn't like my reaction to my

A+. So he slammed me up against a locker and started to take my lunch money.

"Try and smart your way out of this one, nerd".

I was sick of this, but I couldn't beat him in a fight. But then I remembered another nerd, like me, who actually fought back before he left. What was his name... Peter Parker. Yeah he's legendary now, because of his business, Parker industries. He really inspired this school, and me, especially me. And who else was going to stand up, against the bully. No it would be me.

I gave a hard punch, and loud CRACK his nose was broken. But as luck goes a teacher was there only to see the punch, and I got suspended. But it was fine, the school day was over and Cole waited for me to get out of detention.

"Hey good job, he said, I heard that his nose won't heal for at least two weeks"

"ha, well it was a good punch", I said shyly

"Well suspension isn't really a punishment", Cole said.

"Yeah, but when I get back to school I'll be in mid-air".

"Yeah well I got ya pal... oh gosh that pun was terrible"

"Yeah, I know that's why I do em."

We went back and forth for awhile until we where close from "home" ( I still call it that, even though it's not my home). I tell Cole I have something to do and I'll see him later.

Around six I was near the Statue of Liberty, gazing up at the light pollution that beyond that people say are stars. Stars for once I'd like to see one for real, I've never left New York, and I don't plan to.

Right about the time I was going to go home I thought I saw one. It was... beautiful and red and about to Land on me.

"Crap"

Crash, boom
